  1. Hi, Svitlana:

    You are developing a good understanding of how to construct search statement. You identified the essential concepts and linked using boolean. It is a process and you might have to adjust your search statement based on the results. For your question, I suggest, forecast* AND (e-commerce OR "electronic commerce") AND future. Maybe forecast will capture the future concept as well, give both a try and see how the results are different.

    Thank you for your efforts,
    Andrea
